James Durbin made an appearance with SP this week as he joined them for the Journey classic, “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
The American Idol screamer wasn’t the only guest in the house: Fozzy singer (and former WWE star) Chris Jericho was on hand, as well as comedian Dane Cook.
While Durbin landed in 4th place on the Idol series, his connection with the hard rock and metal communities is building quickly, especially after his finale performance with Judas Priest.
"If you look at what James has done for heavy metal, you've got to say thank you, you know?," said Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton told MTV News on the Idol red carpet before the show. "It's just bringing metal to the front, making it, metal, accessible for people. It's a good thing."
